Book III   Proposition 16
Therefore
    another straight line cannot be interposed into the space between the straight line and the circumference.

I say further that the angle of the semicircle contained by the straight line BA and the circumference CHA is greater than any acute rectilineal angle,
and the remaining angle contained by the circumference CHA and the straight line AE is less than any acute rectilineal angle.
